vodka sauce
Tomato cream pasta
Vodka sauce is a creamy tomato-based pasta sauce made with vodka, heavy cream, and often garlic and crushed red pepper.
The alcohol cooks off but helps release flavors and emulsify the sauce into a smooth, slightly pink coating.
It became an Italian-American restaurant staple in the 1980s: penne alla vodka, rigatoni with vodka sauce.
